| Selections: | mph | kt | B | m/s | ft/min / km/h |
| Specification Range: |
|
| Operational Range: |

| Resolution: |
|
| Accuracy (+/-): | Larger of 3% of reading, least significant digit or 20 ft/min |
| Notes: | 1 inch|25 mm diameter impeller with precision axle and low-friction Zytel® bearings. Startup speed stated as lower limit, readings may be taken down to 0.4 m/s | 79 ft/min | 1.5 km/h | .9 mph | .8 kt after impeller startup. Off-axis accuracy -1% @ 5º off-axis; -2% @ 10º; -3% @ 15º. Calibration drift < 1% after 100 hours use at 16 MPH | 7 m/s. Replacement impeller (PN-0801) field installs without tools (US Patent 5,783,753). Wind speed calibration and testing should be done with triangle on impeller located at the top front face of the Kestrel. *F/S only in Ballistics units. Beaufort not available in Ballistics units. |

| Notes: | Hermetically sealed, precision thermistor mounted externally and thermally isolated (US Patent 5,939,645) for rapid response. Airflow of 2.2 mph|1 m/s or greater provides fastest response and reduction of insolation effect. Calibration drift negligible. Thermistor may also be used to measure temperature of water or snow by submerging thermistor portion into material -- remove impeller prior to taking submerged measurements and ensure humidity sensor membrane is free of liquid water prior to taking humidity-based measurements after submersion. |

Kestrel 2000 Questions
Does the 2000 or 2500 record the lowest or highest temps over the previous 24 hours? I sleep outdoors and want to compare equipment such as tents bags etc with an accurate overnight low rather than guess.

All of the Kestrel 1000 - 3550 Basic Meters have auto shutoffs to preserve battery life. The Kestrel 5 series Meters and Kestrel DROP data loggers will record data for extended periods of time without shutting off. They will display real-time or recorded time-stamped data which is downloadable or accessible using the meter.
What units under $200 bucks do you have for weather geeks? I'm interested in Barometric Pressure, Temperature, Humidity, Wind Speed, Altitude and Wind Speed.

I have about 100 or so Kestrel 2000 Anemometers that are used in the arctic on the BP oil fields. They have been used a lot over the last few years. I need to order some new fans or impellers I believe they are called. Where can I find them in your store?

Glad to hear the Kestrel's are working out for you! You can find the impellers here: Kestrel Replacement Impeller for all Kestrel Meter Models.
Are the Kestrel 2000 and Kestrel 3000 the same accuracy for wind measurements?
Are the Kestrel 2000 and Kestrel 3000 the same accuracy for wind measurements?
All of the Kestrel Meters use the same 1" user replaceable impeller and wind speed sensor, so yes.
Is the Kestrel Rotating Vane Mount for 5000 series Meters - 0782, compatible with the Kestrel 2000 Hand Held Thermo Meter? If not which one is?

The Kestrel 5 series vane mount will not hold a basic series (1000-3500) meter. We do have a vane mount for basic meters here: Kestrel Basic Series Rotating Vane Mount.
Does the Kestrel 2000 measure relative humidity?
Does the Kestrel 2000 measure relative humidity?
The 2000 only measures wind speed and temperature. Here are the Kestrel's that measure relative humidity: Kestrels that measure RH.

The Kestrel 2000 is available in green only. If you wish to make a special order for 100 or more, we can have them made in another color.
When turning the 2000 on and off, does it STAY on the last select screen/reading. Meaning, I mainly am interested in wind speed, I will read the wind and put the meter away. I will then pull out the meter and turn it on, will it open on the wind speed screen or will I need to arrow over to get back to the wind speed screen?

Your Kestrel will stay on the last screen you left it on when it was turned off or turned off automatically.
